Admiral Vern Clark (’67) is the retired Chief of Naval Operations for the U.S. Navy, having served in that position and on the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2000-2005. He is the second-longest serving CNO in history. The vision for this center is to equip veterans during their university experience for academic excellence, spiritual empowerment and future success.
